This podcast can't be played due to restrictions set for this device

I'm getting this error when I try to play any podcast marked as Explicit, in the Apple Podcasts app. It says "Restrictions can be managed in Settings -> Screen Time". I've disabled all controls in Screen Time, and I still get the message. I can play the same podcasts in 3rd party apps. I've tried rebooting, etc, to no avail. Any thoughts?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

There are multiple ways restrictions can be set:

Screen Time restrictions set by you
Screen Time restrictions set using parental controls
Screen Time restrictions set by a business or school, if you have a business or school email account on your device
Screen Time restrictions set by a business or school that has installed MDM (Mobile Device Management) on the device

Do any of these apply?
